Rep. Val Hoyle, D-Ore., accepted congressional campaign donations from a handful of cannabis entrepreneurs who were awarded a taxpayer-funded grant she oversaw during her tenure as Oregon's labor commisioner.
Rep. Val Hoyle, D-Ore., arrives to the U.S. Capitol on May 18, 2023. Hoyle formerly served as the commissioner of Oregon's Bureau of Labor and Industries.
"I’ve returned all campaign contributions from La Mota owners and won’t be taking any additional funds from them," Hoyle said, according toDespite returning the $20,000 Mitchell contributed to her state campaign fund in 2021, FEC records do not yet show that Hoyle have returned the $6,800 in congressional campaign donations she received from Vega, Cazares and Mitchell.
"I’ve read this I don’t know how many times, and I’m baffled as a taxpayer how you can expect half a million dollars to support four people being trained," council member Evan Stuart said at the time, the outlet noted."I don’t even know how this got through the committee.
The grant was awarded to ENDVR based on its application pledge to create an apprenticeship program for"botanical extractionists" – individuals who extract chemical compounds from the cannabis plant. At the time, Willamette Week reported that ENDVR"had no evident track record in job training." Online, ENDVR lists its registered address as a small office space in a storage facility between a U-Haul rental and an automotive repair shop located at 16501 NW Twin Oaks Drive Beaverton, Oregon, 97006. On the nonprofit application, however, Vega listed unit 102A as the specific unit, although 102A does not exist at the address. On the business application, Vega listed unit 103A as the business address.
